Site Configuration Options

Multiple options are available (in the form of on/off switches) to the microsite owner and administrators to control the behavior of the site along with the ability to enable/disable few of the features. Each of these options belong to one of the following four categories

  1. Security
  2. Integration
  3. User Interface

These options can be modified by accessing the menu item Site Admin -> Site Details and then clicking on the appropriate tabs which are available for each category.

 

The following tables lists all the options available along with their descriptions.

All users are required to signin before they can access any information in the site. Keeping it off allows any visitor to access non personal information

Require Member

In order to sign in to the site, the user must be a member of at least one group in the site.Keeping it off would allow users of different site to sign in. This is useful in case of related sites

Enable Self Signup

This allows visitors to sign up for the site on their own. Keeping it off would ensure that only site administrators can register users into the site
Enable Captcha Enable / disable captcha verification on self signup page
Activation by admin required User will be created in Inactive status after self signup, site admin has to activate in order for user to be able to sign in
Block learner logins This prevents the logins of all learners in the site. Instructors and administrators would continue to have full access. This option helps the site administrators to temporarily restrict access to all the learners
Auto Deactivate Learners When all the assigned courses to learner are ended (from learner's perspective) via max subscription days option, deactivate the user account. This is useful in cases when self registration is enabled and users can buy access to a course having fixed number of days access

But by enabling this option, you can allow admin in the group to be able to add new user by either by adding them as group member (specifying their email ids) or by adding them to a course session in their group. It results in first a user account creation (if there is no user record in the site for the same email, if an existing account was found, that account will be used, instead of creating new account)
Hide all users list from group admins Normally, group admins can add new members to their group, by selecting any user from all site users list. But in some cases if you need to prevent group admin to be able to view list of all site users, you can enable this option
